BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to infant and toddler child care devices, and more particularly to portable toddler potty seat for young children.

2. Description of the Related Art

A plethora of toilet-training devices exists in the marketplace. More specifically, toilet-training devices heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of facilitating the potty training of children are known to have a variety of structural configurations, yet there remains a void of options when it comes to storage of toiletry supplies on these devices.

What is needed is a portable toddler potty seat that substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of related art devices, and in doing so provides a place for a young child to relieve him/herself away from plumbed toilets while at the same time providing the caregiver easy access to hygiene supplies to clean up behind the child when the child is finished with waste expulsion activities.

Thus, a portable toddler potty seat solving the aforementioned problems is desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The portable toddler potty seat comprises a lightweight potty seat/chair on wheels with a retractable handle. This allows the potty seat to be easily mobile in the house, a vehicle, the park, or any other locations a toddler travels. The seat also includes a removable case pivotally attached to the back of the potty seat in which to store items necessary for a complete bathroom experience, such as wipes, plastic bags, hand sanitizer, first aid kit, etc. The pivotally attached case can be removed and placed in the passenger area of a vehicle, if desired, while the potty seat is placed in the rear of the vehicle.

These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
